The oral hearing for the controversial project moved online last October after it was suspended in March due to the COVID-19 pandemic and social distancing restrictions on indoor gatherings.

281 of the 296 submissions and objections made to An Bord Pleanála related to engineering matters, the need for the scheme, alternatives considered and the impacts on material assess non-agricultural.

The board has a set a provisional date of late April for decision.

However this is subject to change due to the possible impact of COVID-19 restrictions.
